In particular, it is particularly remarkable that these machines are intended for the automatic, semi-automatic or manual type of coffee preparation. Such an electric machine for preparing a beverage typically has a container for water and a hydraulic circuit, which generally includes a feed pump, a boiler and a brewing unit. In the brewing unit, a brewing chamber is defined, and food (such as: bulk ground coffee, single box ground coffee, product box to be diluted or dissolved in water and the like) can be loaded into the chamber. The feedable pressurized hot water is passed through the brewing chamber to extract the beverage component from the food contained in the loaming chamber. One of the biggest drawbacks encountered with these machines is the formation of (iv) deposits, especially calcium carbonate, which are often formed in steel furnaces with less extended magnesium carbonate, but also formed in the transport of hot water, = gradually blocked Water flows. The scale formed in the latter m % m ^ 炉 furnace reduces the heat exchange rate as the material forming the heat insulating layer. The resulting deposits are tightly packed and adhered to the walls of the boiler and water delivery tubes and must be periodically removed using chemicals. Descaling operations are cumbersome and cumbersome for the user, and this operation requires expensive chemical products and must be followed by a water washing cycle (reconstruction) of the 200934430 machine to remove chemical product residues for descaling. In fact, in the beverages produced by the machine, the presence of these chemical products causes health hazards and sensory changes in the beverage. However, in some cases, the use of a descaling cycle is not satisfactory and does not effectively remove carbonate deposits from the hydraulic circuit of such machines. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a machine for preparing a beverage, particularly a coffee machine, using hot water, which overcomes the above disadvantages in whole or in part. It is an object of particular embodiments of the present invention to provide a machine in which the formation of calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate deposits and other deposits that are difficult to remove from the hydraulic circuit can be delayed, inhibited, or in any case reduced. According to various aspects, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method of preparing a hot beverage, in particular coffee, which allows for the use of a chemical descaling product without changing the sensory characteristics of the beverage and in any case reducing the use of The frequency of chemical descaling products reduces the formation of scale deposits. In fact, according to a specific embodiment of the present invention, a machine having a hydraulic circuit 'preparation of beverages and other foods using hot water, particularly coffee, can be provided, the machine includes a water tank; a steel furnace for heating water; a brewing unit embedded in a product that receives water from the boiler and is used to prepare a beverage or other food product. Typically, the machine also includes a magnetic field generator that can be configured to perform water treatment with reduced The purpose of water deposition in the liquid phase circuit. The use of magnetic fields to influence the state of the carbonated mother and the carbonated town has been the subject of many studies. There are 6 200934430 contradictory results regarding efficacy and achievable results. In general, attempts have been made to use magnetic fields in industrial water treatment and to remove carbonated and carbonated locks by sinking the temple. The use of a magnetic field generated by a permanent magnet to reduce the formation of calcium deposits in the boiler has been described in U.S. Patent No. 5,773, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. A magnetic device for water treatment is described in US-A-2, 652, 092 and US-A-2,652, 925. Some devices include a delivery tube containing a flow of water about magnesium ions in the delivery tube and inside or outside the delivery f The upper series of permanent magnets are disposed in a coaxial position relative to the conveying pipe, and have the purpose of reducing (4) sinking (four) adhesion between the heat exchanger and the inner side of the steel furnace. Ερ·Α_属〇83 Describes a similar system for treating industrial water to reduce carbonate deposition. Another device for treating industrial water using a magnetic field is described in ΕΡ-Α-0325185. Further magnetic systems for the treatment of water flow for industrial purposes are described in W〇-a-2006/029203 and W〇 A 〇3/〇〇〇596. However, although the use of a magnetic field affects the carbon-and the magnesium carbonate deposition state is known to have been more than a century - but this phenomenon seems to have not been prevented or reduced in the system of carbonate formation inside the machine for preparing food and The special limbs are used in the machine for preparing coffee. As highlighted above, this situation is particularly relevant to the consideration of the strontium carbonate point in the liquid circuit used to prepare the coffee machine. The formation of deposits and the substantial lack of fouling derived from the adhesion can achieve a substantial use of the magnetic field to reduce the advantages in the coffee machine. 'Including: Increasing the life of the pin furnace and consequent reduction of technical support costs; 7 200934430 - Improved preparation Sensory properties of food; _ Eliminate the use of chemical agents that are clean and easily form fouling areas, or at least substantially reduce the use of these chemicals; _ Eliminate (or at least reduce) the water wash cycle of equipment re-reconstruction after use of chemical detergents - In the case of an anhydrous scale-preventing magnetic device, energy can be saved compared to the same operating time, since the heat exchange rate in the boiler is less reduced and the scale thickness formed in the boiler is reduced.

The delivery tube is preferably made of a plastic material, such as Teflon, polyoxyl, or other material suitable for contact with food, and such that it does not obstruct the passage of the magnetic field lines of the magnet disposed on the outside of the delivery tube. . It is also possible to arrange a magnet on the inside of the delivery tube. If the magnetic field acting on the water is at a temperature higher than the ambient temperature, it has been detected that a greater efficiency can be obtained. In particular, when it is about 6 inches. A favorable result has been found when a magnetic field is applied to water at a temperature of 80 or even 80 °C. Thus, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the magnetic field or magnetic fields generated by a magnetic field generator that is already at a temperature above ambient temperature may be preheated upstream of the boiler, the temperature being exemplified by Said to be greater than 4 〇 c &gt; c and preferably greater than 60. (: and above this value, for example: equal to or greater than 70 ° C. In order to avoid the problem of carbonate deposition from the boiler to the hydraulic circuit section upstream of the boiler, preferably, in the flow state Preheating of the water, i.e., as the water moves through the delivery tube, heats the water, for example by positioning a resistive element in close proximity to the magnetic field generator such that calcium deposits cannot form upstream of the magnetic field active region. 9 200934430 In a possible embodiment, the magnetic field used has a magnetic sensing range of m] to 5 Tesla (T), preferably from 0.2 to 15 T and even more preferably from 0.4 to 12 Τ. - In a specific embodiment, the water passes through a transfer tube having a magnetic field or a plurality of magnetic fields, the flow rate of which is generally and at a level between 5 Torr and 2 〇〇 g/min, preferably at 7 Torr. Between _ and _ ❹ 其中 One of the most important effects of the magnetic field is the structure of many carbon dioxide structures. The polymorphic crystalline compound is composed of calcite in three different ways: this is hexagonal crystal and Thermodynamics for CaC〇K It is one of the most common minerals in nature. ^ Calcite · This is a square crystal and is also stable and is the smallest stable crystalline form. ^ This is an orthorhombic crystal, which is The low temperature is temporarily stabilized under atmospheric pressure, and it precipitates in a solution under the physical state of the narrow range and starts to precipitate at about 60-70 ° C. False 6 and calcite crystals cause anti-fouling, and often It exists in the form of crystals. It is now recorded as soft and porous: it can be removed more easily. The main reason for the formation of the solution is that it is a kind of system and the magnetic field can be penetrated. Deposition of scale, although the nature of this phenomenon still lacks an accurate scientific explanation. ''' According to different aspects, the present invention relates to a method for preparing a beverage or other food, and in particular to brew coffee by using hot water to make coffee. The method wherein, 4 reduces or eliminates the formation of a morphological deposit, the effect of at least one magnetic field of water 2 200934430. According to a particular embodiment, the method provides water before the water enters the boiler According to an improved embodiment of the invention, the method provides a step wherein preheating flows through at least one magnetic field and subsequently into the water of the boiler to raise the temperature to a temperature for brewing. According to the invention, the method and machine The more favorable features are set forth in the scope of the patent application. ' ❹ ❹ [Embodiment] This month will be applied to the automatic coffee machine as described below, but the basin can be used in semi-automatic or manual electronic coffee eight's. Or other food machine. General use of hot water to prepare the drink Figure 1 is a schematic display and indicates the coffee machine containing the automatic brewing unit 3 as indicated by i. σ known as Fig. 2 shows the automatic brewing unit 3 again, which can be described The way is supplied with water in the trough 5 of the communication. By means of the flow meter 7 (for example, the rate in the rear region, the water can be sucked from the groove 5 by the action of the TJ measuring the flow symbol 13 in the feed aluminum 楂! ! ^ ^. 9 and the boiler u 疋 b b indicates that the boiler lli% is connected to the brewing unit 3 =, and the component is equipped with a recirculating conveying pipe 17, 1 is sent to the pipe. The pump 9 recirculates the water conveyed at its inlet. The wheel counter 9 is connected to 19 and 2^ to the _9. The wheel tube 17 can be terminated by a three-way element 23 _ with a spray 23 private end without a dispensing mouth σ with a mouth 25 or a pair of points 11 200934430 The transfer tube of the port 25, under one or two cup tubes to collect the built-in brewed coffee from the forming in the unit 3. The inner side is obtained according to an embodiment of the invention, along the generator 31. In one embodiment, the generator is comprised of a human field iron 33 and a second permanent magnet 35 that are wound relative to each other about the transport tube. The magnetic material is advantageously made of plastic material. For example: iron Γ:Γ Polyoxyl or other materials suitable for contact with food, ie, water compatible with beverages. __Materials The input (four) 13, also == 疋 does not hinder the material of the magnetic image path generated by the two permanent magnets 33 and 35. The force line is - in the specific embodiment, the magnets 33 and 35 are of opposite polarity: by the magnet The 33 series of the north division is facing the conveying position and the magnet η is positioned with the south pole (S) facing the catheter. In order to confirm the effect of the magnetic system in reducing the formation of permanent carbonic acid dance, the experiment can be carried out on two coffee machines. In addition to the presence of one of the coffee machines 31, the other homogeneous temples are turned on for the same number of hours, and in the same operating state, the two eyes are circulated in the same operating state to produce the same number of coffees and produce phase steam. i. After eliminating residual water by blowing compressed air and drying at ambient temperature, the scale accumulation is estimated by several times removing the steel furnace of the two machines and weighing it. The weight can be attributed to the formation of carbon-sludge on the wall of the steel furnace. The machine can be equipped with a coil type boiler disposed inside the volume surrounded by the steering of the water delivery pipe, a spiral conveying pipe for the passage of water, With also 12 20 0934430 A spiral element wound with a spiral. By using a large amount of coffee and not taking a lot of hot water and a small amount of steam to accelerate the deposition time, the machine used as the experimental object is intensively used. Therefore, the amount of relevant scale in the boiler is obtained. Monitor and record the volume of all used water. Operate on a machine with a magnet to reduce the weight of the scale in the number of turns without a magnet (g) Weight of the scale (g) % 11 0.37 _ 0.62 40.3 18 0.85 _ 1.44 41.0 46 1.88 3.17 40.7 In the graph of Fig. 4 and the above table, '40% reduction in scale formation can be seen due to the use of the magnetic field generator 31. Figure 4 shows the results obtained in these experiments. The abscissa shows the number of experiments and the ordinate shows the number of grams of carbonated mother (CaC03), which is given by the difference in boiler weight each time the weight of the new boiler is weighed. The curve C1^ forms an interpolation between the measurement points obtained on the machine equipped with the magnetic field generator, and the curve C2 is an interpolation curve obtained on the machine for comparison. The following table summarizes the experimental data obtained after the experiments on j 1, 18 and 46 days. After the test, the inspection of the boiler showed that in the absence of a magnet, the scale in the control group boiler was very solid and compact and exhibited in large quantities. The image obtained by scanning electron microscopy shows a heterogeneous distribution of elongated prismatic crystals. The crystallization check showed a mixture of word-containing components and significant vermiculite components. These observations were also confirmed by the implementation of the analysis of Twilight 13 200934430. A boiler with a magnet is shown to be formed with easily removable deposits without the need to use any particular force to cause the deposit to separate from the wall. The amount of deposition is significantly lower than that of the control furnace. Microscopy revealed a homogeneous size distribution with elongated prismatic crystals, but with a smaller size relative to the control group boiler. In this case, the analysis performed by X-rays also shows that the meteorite phase is ubiquitous. In addition, it can be observed that the deposition obtained in a boiler with a magnet has a relatively high degree of void relative to the deposition formed in a boiler without a magnet. Figure 5 shows schematically the different configurations of the magnets, again indicated by 33, 35. In this case, the magnets may be C-shaped or U-shaped and may be applied to the curved or elbow portions of the delivery tube 13. This configuration of a semi-circular magnet having a strength of 〇·ιτ can be applied to a second cycle experiment using an elbow portion having a 4 mm inner diameter and a 7 mm outer diameter and a length of 30 mm. Figure 6 shows a curve similar to those of Figure 4. Curves C1 and C2 indicate the trend of the gram weight (the ordinate $) as a function of the operating time (the number of days on the abscissa). Curve C1 is for a boiler with a magnet and curve C2 is for a boiler without a magnet (control group boiler). Figure 7A shows a graph showing the percentage reduction in scale as a function of time, and Figure 7B shows the percentage reduction in scale (ordinate) in a boiler with a magnet as the accumulation of scale in the control group boiler (on the abscissa, gram) The curve of the function. Without limiting the chemical-physical types of any complex phenomena, resulting in significant experimental results, it can be observed that the magnetic field correlation effect is not changed by 200934430, which will change the chemical equilibrium of water, and the nucleation process of crystal nucleation process: interference Oversaturation process around the nucleus. As previously indicated, the nucleation overstate of the carbon crystal chemical state correction appears: the arch is crystallized in three different forms. 1. Calcite, crystallized in a rhombohedral system with = 7 ^ _ . Meteorite, crystallized in a diamond-shaped system with a single consumption, &gt; 3. Hexagonal calcite, and right/, spherical type crystallized. In these three forms, it is most thermodynamically stable calcite in the form of temperature and pressure around the fields of Tian and Yu County. Heating the water in the thermal circuit. A1 ^ ^ , ‘In the general process, calcium bicarbonate has a carbonate element y formed in its subsequent solution, which forms a tight deposit that adheres strongly to the metal wall. The explanation for the development and formation of this solution is that the lack of a stagnation in the stone anatomium is caused by the fact that the π makes the carbon atom tend to be captured by the atom with the eapaeity. lack. This view is typical of metals that are generally shared with free electrons. In most cases, 作用I can be applied by the surface in contact with water, which has its micro-roughness, and promotes the formation of crystal nuclei by sharing a pair of electrons with carbon to form a crystal nucleus. The metal/carbon bond is stably fixed to the wall portion, and the crystal nucleus will continuously grow. This growth can be found on the atoms acting on the bond formation, and there are still charge residues on the atom that trigger bipolar orientations that act as gravitational points and other molecules for subsequent aggregation. During the crystallization process, the intermolecular bond toast will not occur in a chaotic manner, but will occur according to the existing electron bipolar and the orientation of the magnetic field generated by the electron. Molecular attachment will be oriented according to the direction of the direction 15 200934430 'in this direction, the gravitation is larger and the magnetic interference is lower. Based on the basis of these electrochemical states, as long as it does not affect the solubility of the compound, any influence exerted by the magnetic field applied from the outside causes physical rather than chemical structural correction, and thus the value of the soluble product can be changed. The increase in the proportional relationship with the increase in magnetic field strength will determine the progress and development of nucleation. In the phenomenon of solvation, each metal ion is surrounded by a specific number of water molecules due to the presence of an electric bipolar, and the charged end of the electric bipolar can be oriented in a space along the ionic electrostatic force. In this water-ion complex, the ions occupy the central pocket and the effective radius of the ions depends on the orientation of the bipolar. The effective radius is greater than the crystal radius and the difference is 0,1 A when no external force is applied to the cation. The ability to eliminate the high-intensity magnetic field of the magnetic field created by the electrons can be predicted to be free and harmonic. Gj, this must be oriented according to the applied magnetic % line of force, and this forced orientation will affect the effective radius of the ion. © In the case of calcium ions, the forced orientation of this bipolar causes a significant increase in the effective radius relative to the crystallographic radius, which is manifested by ions having a radius greater than 0.1 A causing a diamond rather than a rhombohedral system crystal. This deformation of the ions corresponds to the energy absorption converted to deposition by the system, which is composed of a temporarily stable meteorite phase having an energy content higher than calcite. However, the anti-scaling effect may not be found only in the different crystalline chemical forms formed by calcite and vermiculite, while calcite and vermiculite, especially calcite, are closely packed and deposited. In fact, in the formation of vermiculite, the molecules can be oriented according to the magnetic field lines of the magnetic field generated by the existence of the electric bipolar, and this modification makes the space of the crystalline network structure obstructed because it cannot be freely oriented and based on space. The electric bipolar gravitational line presented thereon is combined. This gravitational force forms an intramolecular force that causes crystallization cohesion. The absence of these lines results in the formation of amorphous deposits having a light and inconsistent powdery talc morphology&apos; and the deposition is made up of a plurality of micro-structures that are hydrodynamically activatable by water. The very lightweight needles which are composed of crystals which are easily removed by the slight crystallization can be obtained by the improved embodiment of the present invention, and even more closely related to those shown above, which are schematically shown in Fig. 8. The same component symbols indicate the same or equivalent components as those of Figure 2. In the embodiment of Fig. 8, in addition to the elements already described with reference to Fig. 2, a preheating system is provided which is coupled to the magnetic field generator 31 to preheat the flow through the delivery tube 13 towards the water of the pin furnace n. System 41 is schematically illustrated as a resistive element wound around a delivery tube 13.
